Why: Preview setup clears a node with innerHTML = '' before appending sanitized children, and the ratchet treated that space as a write.
Evidence: npx vitest run test/html-sinks.test.ts. Non-empty assignments still match.
Impact: The preview path can keep clearing nodes. Writing HTML strings in components still fails the test.

Why: The conversation and office fallbacks wrote marked output straight into the page, including converted docx HTML.
Evidence: html-sinks ratchet forbids new innerHTML writes outside @ui safeHtml.
Impact: Conversation keeps line-break rendering. Unsafe links are stripped after docx and pptx preview. dompurify is deduped with the UI package.
